It's annoying for fans but there is zero benefit to him giving anything away about injuries.

I mean... There's not much to be positive about. There's only thing they can do to uplift everyone and that's beat Ipswich.

Cagey score draw

I guess the closest we had was Newcastle and they got promoted pretty easily. But tricky to know how hard it would impact Spurs. I'm sure they'll have the strongest squad in the league - but it will be tough mentally. Every single game will be the FA Cup Final for the opposing teams and fans. The media spotlight will be on them, desperate to pounce every time they fail to win a game. Gallows humour will quickly wear off for their own fans too if they get bogged down in a difficult promotion battle.

My exact predicted three for promotion at the start of the year! And yes if you kept our results the exact same but reversed them, so we started terribly and were now grinding out wins to propel ourselves into the promotion mix, we'd all be buzzing. Meh, people say that every year mate. This season was billed as the hardest ever and Leicester may end up relegated, same as Luton the year before. If anything, those sides will all be taking points off each other and we'll be up in that top 8 mix also (two extra play off spots now).

If our crap results were more spread out I think we'd be mostly enjoying the ride this season. It just sucks to have been in such a commanding position and bottled it, even if our final position is going to be higher than 90% of us predicted.

Would love to see anyone who believes that rumour suggest it to Hackney's face.

100%. If I'm ranking the possible outcomes for the season now: Us 2nd (duh) Play offs with Southampton coming 2nd Play offs with Ipswich or Millwall 2nd, we avoid Southampton over two legs Play offs with Ipswich or Millwall 2nd, we play Southampton over two legs Finish below 6th

Getting something on Sunday is huge now as even if we don't make autos, I really hope Southampton come 2nd over Ipswich or Millwall. Assuming we get Hackney back and at least find a bit of positive form, that would give the play offs a whole different complexion. We know the other sides are just as ropey and inconsistent as we are.

Bristol City was even worse. Both absolute sickeners and totally undeserved. Tbh you could go through so many of our games and do this, not worth torturing ourselves at this point.

Saturday epitomised it. They have one shot from a corner, last kick of the game, and of course it wrong foots our keeper with an accidental deflection.

Don't get me wrong we make a lot of our own problems... But this run has been brutally harsh, we've had minimal luck and maximum punishment right the way through.

I hear you... But I can also think of games where Hull snatched undeserved points and got lucky wins from the limited times I've seen them. Am I being totally one eyed or has that just not happened for us? Like when have we snatched an undeserved win or won by a freak goal or ref decision?

Better for us. I'd be way more optimistic about play offs if Southampton bugger off into the autos.

2nd is absolutely on for Southampton. As turd as we are, nobody would be shocked if we draw at Ipswich. Then Southampton still have them at St Mary's.
